In New Jersey, a person is guilty of drunk driving if he/she operates a motor
vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or greater.
However, If you consume any amount of
alcohol and your driving is affected, you can be convicted of drunk
driving.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS AGAINST DUI:
New Jersey laws have administrative implications in addition to the criminal laws against DUI. An officer may arrest a driver if:
- He/she is aged 21 and above and is driving with BAC
0.08% or more.
- He/she is aged below 21 and is driving with BAC 0.01% or
more.
If you are arrested for DUI, the arresting officer will confiscate your New Jersey driver license, complete a notice of license suspension/revocation based on the nature of the offense along with a warrant, if applicable; and send the entire set to the MVC. The driver can schedule an administrative hearing after the notice of suspension/revocation.
It is a good idea to consult a DUI lawyer
beforehand. If the hearing goes against the driver, his license will
be suspended or revoked based on his previous ten-year driving record. There is
no provision for a Limited or Restricted License in the state of New Jersey. The
suspension or revocation begins after the final order of the hearing officer is
mailed from the MVC. If the administrative hearing goes against the driver, he
can ask for a review from the circuit court. If the driver, however, does not
request a hearing, then the suspension/revocation begins after the arrest, and
is final.
